The BLA terror organisation which is already banned by UK and US goverments for its involvement in terrorist activities involving murder, destruction of public and private property. Assasinations, blackmailing and harrasment of pulic figers and journalists. Frustrated by the lack of support from the local Balochi papulation it has increased its terrorism many fold. Hoping to gain from the Pakistani Goverment and Army's engagement with Taliban. It has managed to kill over 400 people majority of which is the poor innocent Balochi peopleit claims to represent.
Its terror tactics and blackmailing has been mostly unsuccessful because the people have rejected its racist and xenophobic ideology which is based on hate and voilence. Its master minds are the arrogant Baloch Sardars who want to rule Balochistan with the iron fist and keep the people in dark ages.

The fanatic leader Brahamdagh Bugti should be captured and tried for th mass murder of innocent civilians in the terror campaign. Sadly he is being supported by Indian RAW with money and weapons as a revenge for Kashmir unrest. It is high time that goverments of the region join together to fight these selfish terror outfits who would consume the region if not checked now.

The good news is that both US and UK are acknowledging the fact that the terror tactics of BLA and Brahamdagh Bugti are against the interest of Pakistani Goverment and the people of Balochistan and they are trainging and equiping Pakistani anti terrorism forces with latest equipment. But is it already too late for all the loss of life in Balochistan in recent times.
